Child Student Visa
About Child Student Visa
The Child Student Visa is for school-age children coming to study at a licensed independent school in the UK. It covers private day and boarding schools and requires a valid Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies from the school, suitable care arrangements and evidence that the family can support the child during their studies. Applications need to show that the child is a genuine student and that their welfare is properly safeguarded. RakLAW supports families and schools throughout, ensuring the application is presented in a way the Home Office can grant with confidence.
Who this is for
- Parents enrolling a child at a UK independent school
- Families relocating where children will attend boarding
